The tributes continue to pour in from around the world of football. River Plate, the fierce rivals of Diego’s team in Buneos Aires, Boca Juniors, have shown their respect in a touching tweet in which they make it clear although Maradona has gone, his influence on football will live on:

I am deeply saddened to hear of the death of Diego Maradona, one of world football’s greatest and most iconic figures. He achieved greatness as a wonderful player with a genius and charisma of his own.
My favourite image of Maradona is the one of him seemingly taking on the entire Belgium defence in the 1982 World Cup – and it is of course in this wonderful gallery of the great man’s life and times.
